Schedule Virtual Survey

Virtual Surveys are becoming as popular as in-home surveys very quickly.

This Virtual survey is a mobile app that allows you to connect with one of our sales representatives via video call and do a walking tour of your home. It is design for small moves or big moves and take approximately 15-20 minutes.

We will send you an email confirming the appointment along with a unique access code.

During the virtual moving survey, your sales rep can snapshot the various spaces while you do the walk through and log them in your customer portal with notes so that, on moving day, our crew is prepared to meet your specific needs.

About Sweden

While the Scandinavian country of Sweden is most noted for being inhabited by early Germanic tribes known as the Vikings, this Northern European country is also recognized for its awe-inspiring natural beauty with vivid pictorial views. Visitors and natives alike can view the outdoor splendor of places like the Swedish Lapland (home of the last European wilderness), the island of Gotland, the Stockholm Archipelago, or Abisko National Park (a prime location for viewing the northern lights). They can even explore the heavily forested country at their leisure thanks to the Right of Public Access (Allemansrätten).

With almost 10 million people inhabiting the country, Sweden is home to varying ethnicities including Swedes, Sweden Finns, the indigenous Sami people (known for their reindeer husbandry), and newer immigrants from the Middle East, specifically from Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Lebanon and Syria.

Sweden lies north of the Arctic Circle, west of the Baltic Sea and borders Finland and Norway. It is also connected to Denmark via a bridge-tunnel across the Oresund. It boasts the highest rate of innovation, particularly in sustainable energy, and the fastest economic growth among all other countries in the European Union.

Sweden has a Nordic social welfare system that provides universal healthcare, and continually ranks high in national performance ratings including health, quality of life, equality and civil liberties, education and economic competitiveness. The country's major trading partners include: Norway, Germany, Denmark, UK, Finland, US, France, Netherlands and China.

We truly recommend International Sea and Air Shipping
"We worked with Ms. Hillary Cammer on a complex move from Fjallbacka ,Sweden to Bonita Springs, FL via Seattle since early 2014.
International Sea and Air Shipping provided superb service and had the expertise to guide us through the many steps involved in International shipping and Customs.
We changed the destination from Seattle, WA after the shipment left Gothenburg, Sweden. Ms. Cammer and her Staff were up to the task to arrange for transfers and get the shipment delivered to the Bonita Springs, FL destination. The West Coast labor issues added more complexity to these transfers. The dispatcher Avi proved skilled in solving many issues to get problems resolved.
We had no damageed items and the packing, loading of the 20 FT container was handled with expertise.
The unpacking in Bonita Springs was also performed in an efficient fashion.
We truly recommend International Sea and Air Shipping of New York for international moves.
